Now there’s a hypothesis: the difference between wizards and muggles is that wizards have minds while muggles merely have brains. Or wizards are not p-zombies and muggles are. I don’t think that’s where this story is going, but it might make an interesting premise for a different story.
That kind of fits, particularly from Quirrell’s point of view.
Seems more like the view of Lucius etc. We’ve seen very little of what Quirrel thinks about Muggles aside from his extreme distaste of nuclear weapons.
I used Quirrell instead of Lucius since I don’t think that Lucius actually perceives Muggles as a threat. But as far as perceiving them as a different species, it is more a Death-Eaters’ view.

So Muggles are like the inzcverf in Blindsight? That kind of fits, particularly from Quirrell’s point of view.
